In my experience you can get away with things here, leave early. It's a small place, if you work hard you can really develop a program.

Cons

The university has a budget problem and continues to make some of the same imbalanced decisions that lead it here. Long term employees are treated very poorly over time. If you go most years without any cost of living raise, you can imagine where you will end up after spending your career here.

Advice to Management

Stop treating the university like a place for funding vanity projects.
